Blake Lively made a significant appearance in the showbiz scene last night, opting to bring her family rather than her new beau, Leonardo DiCaprio, to the premiere of her latest film, The Green Lantern.
The 23-year-old actress radiated joy as she posed alongside her mother Elaine and her two redheaded half-sisters, Robyn and Lori. It’s worth noting that Blake’s entire family has a background in entertainment.
Elaine, her mother, married actor Ernie Lively in 1979, known for his roles in Passenger 57 and Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants. Meanwhile, Robyn, 39, who donned a black and white scallop printed gown for the occasion, found success in the film Teen WιtcҺ and various TV shows like Doogie Howser, M.D., Twin Peaks, and Saving Grace. Lori, aged 45, looked equally stunning in a navy and white paisley gown and has made appearances in shows such as Two And A Half Mеn and The Mentalist.
Elaine chose a more conservative outfit for the premiere, donning a powder grey line suit with floral detailing, complemented by blue satin shoes and a Chanel handbag, possibly a gift from Blake, who is currently associated with the French designer label.
Blake herself, known for her striking legs, opted to cover up in a pure white gown adorned with appliqué flowers, exuding elegance on the red carpet.
Before heading to the premiere, Blake taped an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno alongside another Blake, NBC’s The Voice coach Blake Shelton.
In The Green Lantern, which Һit theaters that Friday, Blake portrays Carol Ferris, Vice President of Ferris Aircrafts, who hires Hal Jordan, played by Ryan Reynolds. Angela Bassett, who portrays Dr. Amanda Waller in the film, also joined them on the black carpet at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
Blake’s recent recognition on Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in America list left her pleasantly surprised, especially with Baz Luhrmann writing her profile.
Though she initially auditioned for Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby opposite DiCaprio, the role went to Carey Mulligan. However, a dinner with DiCaprio seems to have helped her secure a different role alongside him.
